WW1 is not so further developed as WW2, but still some nice work done. I know that Horsa´s favourite is in fact WW1, but this -unbelievably- gest still few support nowadays

And here I am working day and night on my own WWI naval game. Kind of hard to show anything, though, as it's a paper and dice game for tabletop miniature models.

Yeah, it's complex. I've generated a sheet for each ship class, with listings for max speed at different Beaufort states, variable accelerations, variable turn rates at different speeds, cruising ranges and coal or oil capacities and rangefinder and fire control positions and how they affect shooting.

I give a listing for each gun system, with arcs of fire for each gun and maximum and sustained rates of fire (sustained in this case meaning how fast they could get fresh shells from the magazines up to the ready-use bins) and of course the maximum range for the gun. Ditto for the torpedoes.

The above info covers the whole front side of an 8" x 11" sheet of paper. On the back side I have the complete ammo load for each magazine, including how many AP, Common and HE shells for the system, speed loss by how many boilers and engines the ship has available and how many electrical dynamos the ship has.

There is a shell hit location chart and a torpedo hit location chart for each ship, giving the location of everything I could think of that's of any importance (including Dead Space listings so you can also take hits in unimportant areas), armor values for each individual hit location, and a top view drawing of the ship with listings for the belt armor for each area.

Though it is complex I've striven to make gameplay quick and easy, so each section of the page acts as a flow chart, guiding the player to exactly what he needs to do.

I've also done 1/2400 scale counters for every ship so, even though it's much more fun to use models, the player doesn't have to, because, as we all know, models can get expensive.

It's not just World War I either; I've done some work on WWII, and also gone backwards for some American Civil War stuff.

The game is a long way from being at a point where it could be sold, and I can't even post pictures until I figure out how to convert my work files to viable pictures. Maybe if I converted some of them to PDF files I could post those.

WoW :huh: Bump

That's complex.Looks mutch like you are very knowledgeable on all the WWI technical data right ?

It's aimed to be a commercial game right ?

Deamon,

If you go back to : http://www.amberphotography.co.uk/sealords/Mainpage/tempsealords.htm

Scroll down just a little to :

SeaLords v 1.1

That is the WWI mod for Destroyer Command. Also At Jesters sight : http://jester107th.tripod.com/FleetHQ/SH2DC/missions.html

scroll down to the bottom in section labeled Mission Packs and Mods and you'll find Torry's WWI Mod .

Good Hunting,

Fubar's got a good idea-Rockwell Torry's mods are pretty cool. I had a few complaints about some of the scenarios-the victory conditions aren't always historical, and some of the locations are off. That said, I've had some fun playing them.

Daemon, I don't know if I'd call myself knowledgeable; I've just collected a lot of books over the last few years, so I have a lot of places I can look stuff up. On the other hand, I can tell you off the top of my head when British and German predreadnoughts got radios and rangefinders, or how many 12 pounder guns HMS Dreadnought had in any given year, and where they were located. Lots of useless information.

Deamon,

Sorry, no, I have not. Do not own Fleet Command, just SH2 and DC.

Those mods previously mentioned are the closest I can get to WWI, and very happy for them.

Good Hunting,
FUBAR
